MIMI DYCK
Mimi Dyck died Sept. 1. She was born May 19, 1927 in Rosenort, Russia to Franz and Susanna Dyck and grew up during a turbulent time of revolution and war. Her experiences included being caught in the crossfire of battling German and Russian armies during WWII, and a dangerous escape to eventual freedom in Berlin's American zone. Mimi accepted Christ as her Saviour at 14, and was baptized on her 19th birthday. In Germany, she took a tailoring and design course, leading to her lifelong career. In 1948, Mimi immigrated to Canada. She was always thankful for her freedom in Canada. Her love and care extended to all she met, and she spent much time praying for those in need. She is mourned by sisters Elfrieda and Katie; nieces and nephews. The memorial service was Sept. 2 at Clearbrook MB Church, Abbotsford.
